Reshuffles continue across luxury fashion houses. Davide Tosi has joined Valentino as chief merchandising officer. The executive, formerly ready-to-wear merchandising director at Gucci with previous experience at Prada, Maison Margiela and Moncler, will lead the global merchandising and pricing strategy for the Mayhoola-backed brand.

Tosi’s appointment adds to that of Yigit Turhan, Valentino’s chief marketing officer since 2023, while Riccardo Bellini took the helm as CEO on September 1. The fashion house, designed by Alessandro Michele, secured a €100 million capital injection subscribed by Mayhoola and Kering, which has held a 30 per cent stake in Valentino since 2023.
At Fendi, however, there has been a major change at the top of communications. Cristiana Monfardini, the longtime chief communications officer of the Rome-based LVMH maison, has left her post to embark on a new chapter.
Monfardini, who is leaving Fendi after 20 years with the company, began her career with Gianni Versace in 1994. She has also worked for Dolce & Gabbana, Escada and Moschino.
Her departure comes during a period of profound transformation for the LVMH brand, which began last July with the appointment of new CEO Ramon Ros. Meanwhile, creative direction has passed to Maria Grazia Chiuri, who joins from Dior, succeeding Silvia Venturini Fendi, now honorary president of the maison.
